we were, america was wide open. we never thought we could have an attack on america's soil. we came together. there has not been an attack on america since then. there's been attempts, but we've been very successful. the financial thing that senator conrad said, we were, had our backs against the wall. i didn't like the results, fest to say that -- first to say that. but i was not there. they came up and made a solution. the budget control act that dave obey was talking about. well, you know, there are a lot of problems with it, but it had some good to it. and senator nichols, of course, he came in with a tax cut, and the revenues started going. you can argue about whether they're good enough, i think they are, but that's a partisan difference. the government in an emergency always comes to work. i'm absolutely certain america will come together. we are not going to allow this country to go down just because we can't get along. we're going to fight like hell, but at the 11th hour somehow we always come together, and i'm absolutely certain the same thing will happen again. >>
